Course of medication given after exposure

Hello all

Having read all the threads regarding oral sex and the risk of transmission being extremely low it has made me feel much better about the exposure I had with a sex worker. However after the incident and not being fully educated on how hiv is spread I panicked and visited a doctor 4 days after the incident after explaining to him about what occured he prescribed 30 tablets of Trivenz which had to be taken once daily which I did not question as I was panicked and unsure today I have completed the course of it. With oral sex being low risk particuarly me being the insertive partner should I have been given this treatment? and due to my anxiety I am having a test at 38 days after exposure just to put my mind at ease if negative can I put this ordeal behind me and move on? This was the only form of risk that I had during this exposure and besides having a small cut on the back side of my finger which I notice the next day.

As you have been previously advised, you had no risk.  You did not need PEP and you do not need to test.  Having said that, most specialists agree that modern tests are conclusive at 28 days.  However, again - you had no risk and do not need to test.
